I did get additional brown leather strap on a pin buckle since the watch came with a clasp buckle. It is just too expensive for what it’s worth. IMHO. I got the Portugieser IW 3714.

I thought the 'new normal' was to gift the AD?

...with each of my last three purchases, Explorer and two DJ's, I was given a Wolf winder, pen, scarf, gloves and Rolex magazines. The free winders are great!

Two ADs so far:

1st - two watches, no present. Albeit watches delivered via mail during Covid outbreak
2nd - one watch, bottle of champagne

3rd AD coming soon....let's see how that one will go...

Wolf Winders, Umbrella, Travel Wallet/Passport holder, Perfume/Aftershave, Awards for enterprise 40th Anni book, Rolex VIP invites (British Open Golf etc)

That's what I have been offered/given from my AD over the years and not only during purchase. Turn down the winders now, never use them and run out of friends who want them.

A Tie and a pocket knife (after much hassling) with AD's (out of 5 purchases).
They make you feel like you have received "the holy grail"...

Wow, seems like it is either feast or famine lol
Of course if you scored a grail or watch you've been waiting for a while then the swag is just icing on a very large cake

I received this lovely Rolex watch roll when picking up my Hulk recently, first time I’ve received a gift other than a bottle of champagne.

You guys are all lucky with the nice "gifts". I'd be happy with a mug or hat lol A tie would be nice but not much use these days.

I got a Rolex key chain and a well known champagne bottle when I picked up my D-Blue.
